the problem with colonoscopy is two-fold... First, the cleaning out with the huge doses of laxatives you have to take that give you severe diarrhea, then the procedure itself, which could conceivably cause a problem with a fissure too... If you do decide to go ahead, use a lot of Vaseline during your cleanout to protect the area from the diarrhea, and remind your doctor to be extra gentle due to your fissure situation.
